Social Security Commissioner Michael Astrue Issues Important Statement on Disability Claim Backlog

Eliminating the backlog of Social Security Disability claims is a moral imperative, according to a recent report issued by SSA Commissioner Michael J. Astrue to Social Security lawyers throughout the country.  We agree!  Too many disabled Americans are suffering financially while they wait for a Social Security hearing.

The Commissioner has asked disability attorneys and great organizations such as NOSSCR to help in realizing this goal. We stand ready to assist as long as due process is protected.  Click here for a summary of the Commissioner’s report.
